#while Neuvillette would freak out but try to do his best to not freak you out more

[ventingv]

What would it be like if Neuvillette and Zhongli came home after a long day out, only to find their mate ready to lay eggs? Woul mate feel the labor pains or would it be a simple posture? Or in the case of Neuvillette in some cave far from the civilization of Fontaine they use for posture and safety of the eggs?

(I'm sorry for being weird lmao 🥲)

Your not weird, don’t worry.

Made Neuvillette only leave for like ten minutes only to come back to chaos. Like that meme of that guy holding pizza boxes with a happy smile only to walk into a chaotic scene. Because I’m pretty sure he would absolutely not leave his pregnant mate/lover for a whole day while Zhongli would do so after being told to by his mate/lover. Much to his reluctance.

Zhongli

Zhongli really didn’t want to leave you alone at home when you were very close to laying the egg but there was an emergency at the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and Hu Tao desperately needed his help.

It was only due to your insistence that you will be fine that Zhongli reluctantly left your side to help her.

Now that he came back to the sight of you kneeling on the ground of the kitchen with a look of pain on your face holding your stomach makes him regret listening to you.

He would try to be completely rational as he picks you up and carries you to your shared bedroom.

In the bed room would be a large nest next to the bed made from different expensive and exotic clothes with some jewels decorating the outside of it that Zhongli had bought over the months of your pregnancy. Wanting to make the best nest for his made and child.

He would place you in the nest in a comfortable position and after making sure there weren’t any other discomfort you were experiencing would calling Xiao name who would react instantly to his name calling by Zhongli and with a look at you would instantly know why his name was called.

He would instruct him to get Madame Ping which he would do so as soon as he was told.

It’s only afterwards, when the egg is placed safely in your arms, that lets his shoulders untense themselves and release a relieved sigh.

If there are anymore children after this you can bet that he would not leave your side when near birth. No matter how much you beg him.

Neuvillette

When Neuvillette comes back home after getting the food item you were craving he would drop it in shock at the sight of you gripping the couch’s arm from where you sat tight enough to hear the wood under it threatening to break with the other hand on your stomach.

Furina panickingly asking/begging you to hold the eggs in also makes it obvious that you were currently in labor.

Early labor since there it was still three week from when you were supposed to give birth.

Seeing as the plans of having you give birth in a more secluded and safer place are out the window he would carry you to the bathroom after much worry of how to carry you without potentially causing you any pain or discomfort while practically ordering Furina to grab any and all soft clothes that she can grab.

He would place you in the large tube that the two of you would share sometimes and turn on the water to fill the tube, knowing that due to the eggs being hydro dragons it will be easier to lay them in water.

It’s only when the last egg is laid and confirmed to be healthy by him that he places it in the hastily makeshift nest of the clothing that Neuvillette places his forehead against yours and thanks you for being so strong while he was away.

You can bet he will be expanding his maternity leave for as long as possible, which Furina happily gives him after that traumatic situation for both him and her.

Creator's POV

I can feel my heart racing in my chest. The inside and outside of this room is silent, except for my heavy breathing. The door opens and a few kenin rush in.

"Sozunoshi! Are you alright?!" The older one asks.

While panting, I nod. Whatever dream I was having, means something.

After having breakfast with Ei I run into the city and look for a teleport way point. When I do find one, I stop to think about where to go. I wonder if going back to Liyue would be good, but I also want to see what Fontaine looks like in real life plus I want to find out if people can breathe underwater in the water around Fontaine. So I make up my mind to go to Fontaine.

Closing my eyes, I think of the Court of Fontaine, I feel a familiar warm feeling wash over me. When I open my eyes I'm met with a crowd of people.

"Umm... h-hello," I stutter out.

The people stay silent for a bit before they move closer to me. The noise, the amount of people, and how close they are makes me freak out. Tears flow down my cheeks.

"What is going on here?" A voice asks.

It sounds like a woman, but it has this authority to it that makes the people part like the red sea so whoever just spoke can see me. As the crowd parts, I see a tall red hat and long purple hair.

I know that hat and hair, I remember it from the Roses and Muskets event... It belonged to a hardened badass and hidden softie.

"Chevreuse," I mumble.

She looks at me, and stares. Her cold expression doesn't falter. She was followed by many of Special Security and Surveillance Patrol officers following behind her.

"Your grace, ludex Neuvillette has asked me and my best officers to escort you to the Palais Mermonia," she told me.

There were whispers from the people around us. I had enough of this being seen as a god thing and looked behind me and there are gardemeks. If I can teleport through the teleport waypoint, maybe I can teleport to locations like in the game.

So I close my eyes and think of Mondstandt city and hoped I ended up in the right place.

Venti's POV

Diluc was trying to cut off my wine drinking again. The Angel's Share was getting full. I walked out and then saw a flash of light. Running towards the light, I see... the Creator.

Helping them up, I lead them to the Angel's Share. When we get inside I led them to bar and sat them down.

"What would you like to drink?" I ask.

The Creator tells me what drink they want and I order it for them.

"It's been awhile, where have you been?" I asked once our drinks were in front of us.

The Creator told me what happened and the story was a mess. I feel like they are hiding something from me. I get Diluc's attention and he agrees to have the Creator stay at his home again, but they seem nervous and say they have to go somewhere. As me and Diluc tries to stop them, they get up and dash away from the tavern.

When I return to where I'm staying, I see a letter from Ei.

Reading it, it seems like she is getting Inazuma ready for the festival to welcome the Creator back. I smile and remember Teyvat has five more days before the Creator will be here, forever.
